Gave this some thought....

The trick is to do this before the ObjC runtime is touched in *any* 
way.  Even then, we may lose-- if the NSBundle/CFBundle has been 
tripped by some other mechanism, we lose.

So, dynamic loading works, but anything w/Foundation/Core linked in may 
not work-- will not work in all cases.

Bummer.

In any case, I really don't like hacks like this outside of the 'ooh... 
that's a cool hacque' context.  I'm bummed that it is now in PyObjC, 
but it does work.
